Q

Why do you have to log out if ever you are not in the
department?

A

If your name is the one that’s logged in and your name is the
one that is there in the paper, let’s say on this task is
performed by (someone) and this would be test that would
really be released in the hospital which means that you are
the one responsible for it. So, if there are any discrepancies
or your results are not accurate, then it would be easy for the
hospital or the laboratory to trace who did the testing of the
sample.

Q

When do the MedTechs write the patients details?

A

the moment they would receive the request that’s when the
MedTech would encode their details in the reception area and
from then it is already recorded in the LIS and it’s for the LIS
to produce barcodes (that includes the patient’s details and
the test requests).

Q

What’s the purpose of the barcode?

A
  • It is also to reduce typographical errors, since MedTechs are
    not required to type down there.

Q

With the barcode, are we still asked to write the patient’s
name and the tube?

A

Even if you have your bar code already. Yes (write down the
patient’s information), this is to make sure that if the barcode
gets lost or it gets detached from the sample or from the tube,
then we still could identify which specimen belongs to which
patient.

Q

arrange in the right order of the pre-analytical phase in the lab

Once the phlebotomist would get the request form, they
will go to the patient, extract blood, and do labeling.

Nurses make their request with remarks

Specimen barcode is scanned in the reception area. The
turnaround time will start. Time will be ticking since it
means that processing is starting already.

Laboratory would receive the request through LIS. LIS
would alert the lab that patient A from room 301 has this
test request.

After blood is extracted, the phlebotomist would transport
the specimen to the lab for processing

The MedTech will tag the request, print it, and notify the
phlebotomist

Specimen will be given to the respective departments

A

4, 1, 6, 2, 5, 3, 7

24
Q

it is the term used in the laboratory which means that
they have confirmed/received a request and they will charge
the request in the patient’s account which means that there
will be charges added in the patient’s account (that is for the
payment)

A

Tag

25
Q

they are the ones assigned to extract blood
from the patient

A

Phlebotomist

26
Q

a mortal sin in the laboratory, since we are
handling the patient’s life.

A

mislabeling

27
Q

labelling of blood samples

A
  • last name
  • first name
  • middle initial
  • sex
  • age
  • date of extraction
  • bar code
28
Q

Enables correct specimen and test identification through use
of pre-analytical data available in the LIS

A

Analytical phase

29
Q

Assist in workload management by automated capture of
results from instruments

A

Analytical phase

30
Q

Reduces transcription errors from instrument data; Validates results; Assists in QC management

A

Analytical phase

31
Q

From the beginning, you have to follow the proper protocol or
SOP’s because?

A

your analytical phase cannot move forward
without the pre-analytical data.

32
Q

patient details:

A

✓ name
✓ gender
✓ birth date
✓ test to be done
✓ ordering physician

33
Q

How many times will the barcode be scanned?

A

It depends on the laboratory, but for our laboratory it will be
scanned twice.

34
Q

What happens during the first scanning of barcode?

A

First in the reception area, the moment we receive the
specimen

35
Q

What happens during the 2nd time scanning?

A

Second by the machine, the moment you would process
the machine, they would scan the bar code

36
Q

Instruments will ________ result from the machine or
from the analyzers going to the LIS.

A

directly deliver

37
Q

_________ since the MedTech will not encode the results
manually

A

Less errors

38
Q

LIS checks if result is acceptable since?

A

since the reference range of the test will be shown in the computer

39
Q

Abnormal means?

A

higher or lower than the normal values

40
Q

Within the analytical phase, the LIS can have an impact on?

A

process monitoring, workflow, instrument interfacing, and
quality assurance support

41
Q

The LIS can make ______________________________ for each specimen throughout all of the
laboratory process

A

sample location and sample status constantly available

42
Q

It provides ability to monitor workflow metrics such as?

A

turn around time (TAT)

43
Q

LIS established rules that ensures?

A

that users follow proper procedures

44
Q

can reduce data
transcription errors and
speed up analytic
process
– it means that when a
machine runs the test
then it releases the
result to the LIS directly.
– it’s unidirectional
(follows one line)

A

one-directional interfacing

45
Q

may be used by more
advanced
implementations where
the LIS can send data to
the instrument to set up
a run, and results and
QC data are
automatically returned
to the LIS

A

bi-directional interface

46
Q

two-way

A

bi-directional interface

47
Q

data, test request and the barcode will be produced.

A

test request

48
Q

From the LIS, the _______- from the receptionist will then
be delivered to the machines or to the clinical instrument

A

samples

49
Q

The samples with the bar code will then be fed to the
machine which will eventually produce _________ These
results came from the instrument then, it will automatically
reflect on the information system or the computer.

A

results

50
Q

The MedTech will then review the results from the machine
through the computer, validate it, and with the use of the
LIS, the MedTech can then release the __________- and
do the reporting.

results/report

51
Q

in order to achieve quality assurance

A

specimen rejections

52

Focuses on submitting laboratory data to various recipients
based on the purpose of testing

A

post analytical

54
Q

or national levels.

A

submitted

55
Q

Patients ____________ to their results electronically

A
